Also “Operating staff also received extra training.” - just like a standard SaaS major incident wrap up…
- belter 2y agoAre Insurance companies selling flood insurance in the Netherlands? Must be expensive....
- sandermvanvliet 2y agoIf you have a house you’ll most of the time are required by the bank (because mortgage) to have what’s called an “opstalverzekering” which is what insures damages to the house. These have a component that insures against flood damage but there are probably some limits to it. But yes, flood damage is typically insured. Premium will vary ofc if your house is inside or outside a protected area.
- consp 2y agoNot too bad, since the risks are well known and understood. And unlike in the US the government actively has to maintain that risk level by law. My private insurance covers flooding at no additional cost and almost all home insurance covers it (maximums/deductibles are affected by insurance price of course but they are very reasonable).
